The internet affects how we work, study, communicate and countless other aspects of our daily lives. However, almost three billion people have never used the internet, according to recent research. What are some community-led solutions to this lack of connectivity? Can community-owned networks contribute to reducing the resulting social and economic inequalities? To shed light on these issues, APC is launching a new podcast: Routing for Communities.
In this press section you can find press releases, publications, multimedia materials and a list of contacts from the APC community — all committed activists working with the internet as a way to improve people's lives, with a strong focus on the global South.
